Global Dimension Trust

At Mickleton Primary School we have forged a new link with Siron Primary School in Kenya. Through this our pupils are learning about the life and culture of children in Africa. We are looking particularly at what is grown in both of our countries and at the issue of water, both drought and flood. We are hoping that Siron Primary School will soon have access to the internet so that we can communicate by email. In the meantime, we are writing letters and setting up ‘pen-pals’ for the older children.

Over the February half-term Mrs Geary visited Kenya and worked in Siron School. She made lots of new friends and was able to teach the Kenyan children. The blog below gives you much more detail about her visit and there are lots of pictures in school.

We hope that the Kenyan link teacher will visit Mickleton at the end of April. We will let you know the exact dates so that you can meet her yourselves.

Over the next year we aim to raise money to support Siron and to learn a bit more about Kenya. We would love families from Mickleton School and village to be involved too.

At present we are collecting pencils and small plastic bowls to send back to Kenya, along with small teddy bears for each class. If you would like to help, please contact us.
